Has that happened to anyone?

I know nothing about growing anything but cobwebs, but a friend noted that her poppy seeds had sprouted, requiring cold temperatures to do so.

Even during our recent Arctic blast, the winter sun up here is so strong that it can start melting a thin layer of snow on an asphalt driveway. And cars parked outside can be surprisingly warm inside because of the low angle of the sun. It does belie expectations, but it works.

The non-profit that runs the local community center for the city is sponsoring a pop-up vaccine clinic there. 200 doses reserved for St. Paulites over 65. I saw the email and called within two hours and they still had a choice of appointments. My mom gets her first dose of the Moderna vaccine next week!

Steve, that's good to hear!

Great news Steve!!

I am very grateful for the ignore function on this forum. Without it, I would have left. Why is there always one that causes such distress? (although I have to be careful with those who quote the messages)

I love seeing the elderly get their vaccines. Great for your mom!

Hopefully those with serious health issues can go next, like my type 1 diabetic sister-in-law who lives in Michigan and has not been able to get hers yet.

FANTASTIC! Most of my patients yesterday were 2nd dose so all over 65. VERY happy and grateful people! Only 1 of my patients had covid last year. She was quite ill, able to stay at home, and has fully recovered which is awesome!

Primary goal for today was to complete the taxes for everyone that I do the taxes for. Mission accomplished!!! DONE!! Yay!

There are a few accomplishments that bring sense satisfaction then having income tax preparation completed for the year. Good for you that is major! And I can’t imagine doing more than one household but you must be good at it to do that for others.
